Checkerboard Nails

Wednesday, February 22, 2012

Good evening, dear readers! :D

My post is a bit late today as I had a psychiatric appointment earlier. Ugh, this day was so frustrating.
We left the apartment to go for the appointment, but I had to rush back up to the 9th floor to get my health card which I forgot. I thought I had a ride to my appointment (that it was covered by a support program that I am on), but it turned out that I didn't. So I had less than an hour to bus to my appointment (and it usually takes more than an hour to get there). I had to take a cab (which was $31.00) so I didn't miss my appointment and have to pay the $75.00 cancellation fee. Thank goodness my friend was with me. He offered to pay the cab for me (because I have no money right now) and I'll pay him back when I get paid.

So we got to the hospital (he is a sweetheart and came with me to my appointment since I wasn't comfortable travelling alone) and it turns out that since I am a bit dyslexic, we are over an hour early for my appointment, because I copied the time down wrong. >.

When leaving, the beautiful sunny and warm weather we had just an hour before turned all grey, windy and rainy. Another sigh.

Thankfully my friend came with me and also bought me lunch :). When I got back I went straight for a nap!

Okay, sorry about the rambling! :P

This manicure is all checkerboard-y, with black non-toxic paint making the design. As you can tell by the mistakes I didn't see until I uploaded my photos, this is a freehand design.

The wonderful gold over the black squares is Orly Luxe. I <3 that gold! :D

I'm sorry about your day, I hope you have a better one tomorrow. Howeverrrr.. you are having an AWESOME nail day! I totally love this, I would never be able to do something like this with my left hand onto my right hand nails though. Not that coordinated.

@ The Collegiate Nail: Hahha, thank you so much!! :D It just takes practice and patience! To be honest, most of my nail art I do on only one hand when I am making it for posts, because I remove it right afterwards. ^-^

@ Maria: YAY thank you!! :D I did a gradient on my nails with pink and gold, then did a bit of weird stamping near the bottom. Then I drew on lines and filled in every second box with black paint, then filled in some of the black boxes with Orly Luxe. :D

I like when you ramble in your posts :) It's fun to read! lol your story made me laugh. It was like good and sad at the same time. I love your checkerboard mani! Your free hand stuff...it's just always so amazing!
